- The City Administrator was fired by the Mayor. The Council reinstated her.
- PMUA ignored Council's requests for a meeting.
- PMUA raises rates again and again.
- The Supervisor of Recreation was unable to comply to Council's repeated requests for an appearance.
- The Council amended the FY2011 budget by underfunding the salary line for Recreation.
- Council meetings lasted until midnight or later.
- There was an astronomical rise in shootings and murders
- The Director of Public Safety again restructured the Police Division.
- The Superintendent of Schools was terminated.
- The Director of Public Safety was suspended 3 days for an indiscretion.
- A year of disasters both natural and man made.
- California had its usual quota of forest fires, floods, mud slides an d earthquakes fortunately none of the later were major.
- Unusual voter impact resulted in a Republican Governor, who is making waves both good and bad.
- Locally the same newly found independence among voters resulted in the election of 4 members to the BOE who did not have "the power that be"'s support. Any positive results still awaits the test of time.
- The same voter's interest at the Primary (the election that matters) unseated an impact Councilman.
- There is more which will come to mind about 3am New Years.
- To all a Healthy, Happy, Personally gratifying 2011
